 |
|
Cheat engine 6.8.3 bug report
Summary:
If a script deletes its children memory records when deactivated, then deactivating it with the space key creates an error
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run Cheat Engine 6.8.3
2. Create a script memory record in the cheat table
3. Add some child memory records to it
4. Ensure the [DISABLE] portion of the script deletes its child memory records
5. Once active, select the parent script memory record and use the space key to deactivate it
Expected results:
Parent memory record deactivates without error after having deleted all children memory records
Actual results:
Children memory records are successfully deleted, but the following error pops up afterwards
| Code: | | TTreeNodes.GetNodeFromIndex Index somenumber Out of Bounds (Count = somenumber) |
Further information:
Even assigning the space key as a hotkey to toggle the parent script doesn't produce the error.
For your convenience, I've provided a simple cheat table entry as a demonstration. In the disable section of the script, there are three slightly different functions for deleting child memory records. From my testing, they all produce the same error under the exact same circumstance.
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CheatTable>
<CheatEntries>
<CheatEntry>
<ID>0</ID>
<Description>"Parent memory record"</Description>
<LastState/>
<VariableType>Auto Assembler Script</VariableType>
<AssemblerScript>{$lua}
function childCreator(memoryRecord, numberOfChildrenMemoryRecords)
for i = 1, numberOfChildrenMemoryRecords do
local childMemoryRecord = getAddressList().createMemoryRecord()
childMemoryRecord.Description = "Child memory record " .. i
childMemoryRecord.appendToEntry(memoryRecord)
end
end
function childDeleter1(memoryRecord)
-- Keep checking the number of children and delete the first child, until no children remain
while memoryRecord.Count > 0 do
local childRecord = memoryRecord.Child[0]
childRecord.destroy()
--memoryrecord_delete(childRecord)
end
end
function childDeleter2(memoryRecord)
-- Count forwards from 1 to the total number of children, and delete the first child
for i = 1, memoryRecord.Count do
local childRecord = memoryRecord.Child[0]
childRecord.destroy()
--memoryrecord_delete(childRecord)
end
end
function childDeleter3(memoryRecord)
-- Count backwards from the total number of children to 1, and delete the last child
for i = memoryRecord.Count - 1, 0, -1 do
local childRecord = memoryRecord.Child[i]
childRecord.destroy()
--memoryrecord_delete(childRecord)
end
end
[ENABLE]
childCreator(memrec, 5)
[DISABLE]
childDeleter1(memrec)
-- childDeleter2(memrec)
-- childDeleter3(memrec)
</AssemblerScript>
<Hotkeys>
<Hotkey>
<Action>Toggle Activation</Action>
<Keys>
<Key>17</Key>
<Key>32</Key>
</Keys>
<ID>0</ID>
</Hotkey>
</Hotkeys>
</CheatEntry>
</CheatEntries>
</CheatTable>

After having tried various different deletion methods and searching the forums for possible solutions, I eventually thought it was likely due to a bug.
I apologise if this is a result of some error on my part. I hope someone might be able to help me understand what I've done wrong to create this error in this one specific circumstance.

I can not reproduce this in 6.8.3
Are you using windows XP? Or using a self built version ?

I'm sorry, I should have given some information about my system as well.
| Dark Byte wrote: | | Are you using windows XP? |
Windows 10 Pro x64, version 1809 (OS Build 17763.557), with no changes that I'm aware of.

I am running Cheat Engine with the "cheatengine-x86_64.exe" executable of the latest version (6.8.3) downloaded from wwwDOTcheatengineDOTorg/downloads.php and, to the best of my knowledge, unmodified in any way.
Please tell me if there are any other details I could provide that might be helpful. I hope I haven't wasted anyone's time by reporting an issue that is unique to me or my system.

Would you be able to suggest some way that I can deactivate the script using the space key without the error popping up? Is there something I can do that would suppress those error pop-ups, or a different deletion method I might use that doesn't cause the space key to have that effect upon deactivation?
From what I can tell, my scripts seem to otherwise function properly when deactivated - despite the pop-up error message. Anything that could prevent the messages appearing would solve the problem I'm having.

here's a temporary fix, not sure how it works in the rest of the table though
execute this code (only needs to be called once):
| Code: |
atv=AddressList.Component[0]
atv.OnKeyDown=function(s,k)
if atv.Selected and (k==VK_SPACE) then
atv.Selected.HasChildren=false
end
end

The code you provided seems to work well without causing the previous error, but unfortunately will indiscriminately delete all child entries of any selected entry deactivated with space. I'm hoping to find a solution that would work in a cheat table which uses scripts that auto-delete their children, as well as headers with children that must be preserved.
I'm very unfamiliar with how Cheat Engine works, but from searching through the script engine documentation on the wiki, it seems that in the code you wrote might be a TreeNode object. If that's the case, is there some way to access the TreeNode associated with a memory record?
Might it be possible to use something like the following to delete the children of the specified cheat entry?
| Code: | function getTreeNodeByMemoryRecordID(memoryRecordID)
-- return a TreeNode object associated with the given memoryRecord
end
function childDeleter(memoryRecord)
-- Destroy child entries by setting the HasChildren property of the associated TreeNode object to false
local treeNode = getTreeNodeByMemoryRecordID(memoryRecord.ID)
treeNode.HasChildren = false
-- treeNode.deleteChildren()
end
[DISABLE]
